Jouin was one of the first designers to demonstrate it is possible to grow an object. Using 3D printing, he produced the chair from seemingly randomly arranged bands of plastic. He also created the finished product at the same time as the prototype through the 3D printing process, and was thus able to shorten the design process. Additive manufacturing in 3D printing is automated, saves resources and allows for customization of designs. Each object can be digitally customized according to the customer's wishes. In total, there are 30 copies of the Solid. C2.
